Help the Bushmen!
After being forced to move away from their ancestral home, the Bushmen fought against the Botswana Government and won the right to return. But the government has refused to let them use a borehole which is their only access to water, and it's also said that the Bushmen are not allowed to hunt for food.
Put pen to paper
Without their land, the Bushmen can't live in their special way and can’t pass down their 1,000-year-old secrets. They are lost and unhappy in camps and cities. But don't worry, because you could make a real difference to this amazing group of people by writing a letter to the Botswana Government or your local MP to demand that they 
help the Bushmen return to their homes and let them live their traditional way in peace. Click on the logo to write a letter and make a difference.
The Magic of the Kalahari
There are four hills in the Kalahari which are very special to the Bushmen. The Bushmen have created amazing rock paintings on the walls. But you better tread gently because it's said that whenever famous explorers have disrespected the hills, the spirits have made bad things happen to them. They only stopped when the explorers wrote apology letters to the hills. Woo!
Bush medicine
The Kalahari Bushmen know the plants and roots of the desert so well that they can make medicines to help all sorts of illnesses. For example, they can make an ointment out of a plant called xdaro guian which helps aches and pains.
